Agreed, it is a rather strange acronym. Maybe somebody in ACM likes the Muppets (MASPEGHI sounds suspiciously like "Miss Piggy"). <smile>

(was new JVM based language) It is sometimes MASPHEGI, as in the ACM proceedings I cited, Proceedings of the 5th Workshop on MechAnisms for SPEcialization, Generalization and inHerItance. With or without the terminal 'I' it is an abomination. I am delighted that google knows little about it, but there are circles in which it is now too common. (There may of course be an inside, coterie joke embedded in it: The high artificiality of the choice of 'H' and the second 'I' from 'inheritance' for inclusion in an acronym is suspicious.)
